| Nov 4, 2020 at 3:13 | comment | added | uhoh | Yes, and drives with sealed and pressurized enclosures have already been mentioned in those comments and in links in my question! So I don't think you've posted a correct Stack Exchange answer to the question as asked. "I don't think so but I'll have to do some research" is a comment, but not an answer. | |
| Nov 4, 2020 at 3:07 | comment | added | BobT | I meant that I haven't done an exhaustive search, but based on the general principal that hard drives operate under it would be impossible. The instances referred to would have had to have drives in 'conditioned' pressurized enclosures. I'll try to find some discussion on the subject... | |

| Nov 4, 2020 at 3:04 | comment | added | uhoh | Question asks "Have...ever...?" In this case "In general, no." only explains why occasional uses are so interesting to ask about. It doesn't answer the question as asked. Maybe you can adjust the wording saying that this is background information explaining why if they were used, it would be a rarity and a challenge? There are already comments referring to instances of use under the question, so "It doesn't happen" can not be a right answer. | |
